I don't know how I was so oblivious--maybe it was the fact so many of my TAs were female when I was an undergraduate--but the academy is incredibly male!
I was just considering my hypothetical dissertation committees at the various schools where I have been admitted, and supposing a committee of four members, I realized that at all schools, save one, my committee would likely be comprised entirely of men.
Anyone have any idea of how the gender demographics in the academy are changing (or not). Does this worry any of the women out there?
I for one have been having some weird fear of success/crises of confidence issues related to my gender, triggered, I think, by my grad school acceptances.
